I'm upgrading from a Inland 256GB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD to a HP EX900 NVMe PCIe M.2 500GB. In the past I've used Clonezilla to save an image on old drives as backup but this time it's struggling.
I booted Clonezilla from a USB and selected the disk-disk option like normal. It started out decently well at ~60 gigs/min but only made it to 10% before dropping to 600 mb/min. It's now been running for 8 hours and has '>65 hours left'.
I know there's nothing wrong with the drives as I used them both minutes before starting the clone. The 256 drive has ubuntu18 and the 500 drive did have win10. The Clonezilla stable version was downloaded only a few months ago.
What's wrong with my Clonezilla approach? How come the speed degrades so drastically? How can I get it to only cloned unused sectors? Edit: thanks for the dd suggestions but it needs to not copy unused sectors.

Have you thought of using dd? It does what you want and should be fast enough for your use case. AFAIK it's not possible to copy a drive block by block AND to have it check for non empty blocks. Or rather there is no tool that does it.
– Gothrek
May 14 at 17:31
dd is the primary suggestion I've been getting. Does it also copy empty blocks? Or is there another util that doesn't but will also preserve grub/bootladers?
– Garglesoap
May 14 at 17:33
dd is pretty "dumb", it goes block by block through the whole device and copies everything. It's the de facto standard for such cases. Keep in mind that you might have issues expanding partitions on the new drive, if they are not the last partition there.
– Gothrek
May 14 at 17:35
jeez that's ANOTHER issue with dd/clonezilla. I'm amazed there's no common imaging tool for data only sections. Or I'm sure there is, but how come no one knows about it?

You might get some speedup when using thesparseflag in dd. OTOH this might be a better way, the answer by teeks99: superuser.com/questions/709176/… Do mind that you should run without the delete flag.
